Abstract

Technologies for the sensing of biofeedback signals of a user include a body area network (BAN) system comprising one or more biofeedback sensors and one or more BAN controllers. The biofeedback sensors are configured to sense BAN signals, which may include biofeedback signals and body-coupled communication (BCC) signals. To facilitate communication, the biofeedback sensors may demultiplex the sensed BAN signals into biofeedback signals and incoming BCC signals. Similarly, the biofeedback sensors may multiplex outgoing BCC signals with sensed biofeedback signals. The BAN controller may communicate in a similar manner. Additionally, the BAN controller may process incoming BCC signals and provide feedback to the user based on BCC signals received from the biofeedback sensors.
